Trump confirmed on the 4th that he had proposed sending US troops to Mexico, saying that Mexican President Cienfuegos was "too afraid of drug cartels and is so scared that she can't move."
"The Mexican side said that I proposed dispatching the US army to Mexico to deal with drug cartels, and she wanted to know if this was true," Trump said while responding to a reporter's question aboard Air Force One. He then added, "It's true." He described Cienfuegos as "so afraid of drug cartels that she's too scared to move," but also added that he thought this Mexican president was "a very lovely lady" and "she was so afraid of drug cartels that she couldn't think straight."
One day earlier, Cienfuegos said that she had rejected Trump's proposal to send US troops across the border into southern Mexico to combat drug trafficking, stating that a US military operation in Mexico was "unacceptable" and "unnecessary."
Cienfuegos said, "We can cooperate. We can work together. But you stay on your territory, and we stay on ours. We can share information, but we will never accept the presence of US troops on our territory."
